Hong Kong Willie Reuse
Hong Kong Willie Habitat OR Humanity
Good ole Southern Man trying to keep away from the Concrete Jungle. I am part of Hong Kong Willie artist collective. Re-use is the key to creating art. Hong Kong Willie is trying to leave less of a footprint on Earth by keeping junk out of the landfills and finding another use for these items. Hong Kong Willie specializes in a Key West or nautical theme using buoys, burlap, coconuts, wood from destroyed houses after hurricanes, and much more. Please stop by this little roadside attraction and see for yourself. Protecting nature, wildlife, and our habitat is something that everyone can be a part of for the greater good. Be a Hong Kong Willie too.

How does Hong Kong Willie manage the Internet ???
After over one year of teaching Hong Kong Willie preservation art group how to use a computer and work the Internet, we have parted ways due to different ideals. Purity does not exist in any Search Engine including Google but relevance should and still does. So Hong Kong Willie started and continues to enhance their presense with search engines using what I would call Keyword Spamming. This method does not provide any relevant information as I will now show you by quoting HONG KONG WILLIE:
"Past days have seen famed Conch artists after destruction from devastating hurricanes collect ship wreckage, building parts, car doors, any mass which could evolve itselfinto a canvas for expression. HONG KONG WILLIE, renowned Key's Artist Collective, gained notoriety only from the blatant choice of medium, and the artists' yearning to remain honest to originality. Every Original HONG KONG WILLIE piece is truly “One of a Kind", no piece is ever reproduced. Along with Burn-Etched Signature, SpinyLobster Trap ID Tag, and Hand Signature, any validation of an ORIGINAL HONG KONG WILLIE piece is definite. Visit HONG KONG WILLIE STUDIOS located in Tampa, Florida for a true insight into the work. Contact the Artists for appointment @ (813)770-4794" That was a quoted paragraph from Hong Kong Willie Blog posts which is very common and repeated often.
If by chance you just want to get to some facts about Hong Kong Willie just skip the rest of this post and go to:
Hong Kong Willie trying to save the World
and
A new Tampa Tourist Attraction
Hong Kong Willie also seems to use the dreaded copy/paste of just about anything that is written about them over and over again. Following is another quote that you will see repeated over and over on his blogs so I quote:
"Getting lost out of Tampa on the way to Gibsonton, we saw this structure just off the exit ramp. We turned around to investigate and met Kim and Joe of Hong Kong Willie, an artist's collective that makes art out of buoys and burlap bags and other discards on Key West. Kim and Joe were a sweet couple and Bunny thought they wanted to adopt me. Joe explained that the name Hong Kong Willie comes from 1956, when the world changed and plastic turned this into a nation of nonbiodegradable disposables. I hesitate to call what they do outsider art because it can be a patronizing label; their work comes not from the inward obsession of much outsider art, but from a social conscience and a genuine desire to reach out and make the world a better place.

I live in Tampa and work across the street from this junk pile. It is not art, it is just thier way of "sticking it to the man!" Nobody around here likes it and now they have littered cars all over the place to advertise this mess. The whole place looks like a washed up bait shop.

These preservation artists have not only mowed the right of way on Morris Bridge for over 25 years, but have also been an integral part of keeping the area tidy and well kept through construction projects, excessive trash buildup due to interstate traffic, overall, being considerate citizens in their beloved community. I do wish for those concerned to research my comments, and validate my claims.

I just moved to this area from South Tampa where we were worried about the encroachment of big business. If it were not for the unique eclectics this would be a boring cookie cutter world. If you have to point a finger just remember there are three more pointing back at you. I believe it is their property and in the U.S. of America for the most part they have the right to do what they want there, be it business or artistic expression. If it was not for some free thinkers we would not be free, this is usually forgotten until it is your rights that are violated or legislated out of existence. In the days ahead we should be glad that someone has the foresight to use their rights before we loose them. By the way J.C. take a chill pill and watch some more Boondocks, I know where you sit.

while visiting my mother at the cancer center in tampa, i had the distinct pleasure of meeting joe and kim. as a key west resident, i was shocked and incredibly pleased that the bulldozers of progress, read corporate greed and environmental destructionists, have been unable to replace "Hong Kong Willie's" with another business traveller, cookie cutter hotel on their property. get over it tampa, live and let live and stop mowing down all the trees. enough is enough.

Hong Kong Willie is Awesome!! My husband and I had the pleasure of vacationing in Tampa and stayed at a hotel near the artistic contribution. We spent three days having such a good time betting back and forth on exactly what the objects were...as soon as we got home we had to google Hong Kong Willie to see who was right. Just remember, one person's "eye sore" is another person's most memorable part of a vacation. Keep on "sticking it to the man" Willie, WE LOVED IT!!!

Preservation artist goes home empty first time in 10 years. Empty in material projects but completely understanding and leaving full of knowing what the Florida Keys can give you. The Florida Keys have faced 3 hurricanes. All they need is a hammer. They will find the nails, straighten them and use the boards they find floating up. We will be back.

The zen of junk
A Tampa couple devotes itself to creating something from nothing
BY ALEX PICKETT

Alex PickettROADSIDE ATTRACTION: Located off East Fletcher Road between hotel chains and high-end office parks is the gift shop and folk art gallery Hong Kong Willie's.Drive south on I-75, look to the right around East Fletcher Avenue, and you can't miss it. The tree appears first, hundreds of buoys wrapped around its branches, resembling a sort of Dr. Seuss-ian Christmas ornament. Then the rest of the 20,000 buoys come into view -- thousands of strands of the multicolored foam balls stretching from the tree to two wooden shacks, hanging from their roofs and walls, and stretched out over the property.
Strewn about the lawn is a menagerie of surfboards, car doors, CB radios, wooden sculptures and painted signs. A 1979 Ford pickup sits in the front driveway, painted with a rainbow of colors, four racks of antlers affixed to its roof. An old stuffed caribou sits in a lawn chair beckoning visitors.
Of the thousands of motorists who pass by this eclectic landmark off Exit 266 every day, few stop in the funky gift shop and Key West-themed folk art gallery that is Hong Kong Willie's. But this is not your typical roadside store selling cheesy Florida magnets and beach T-shirts (although they have those, too). From the moment the owners come out to greet you, it's clear that for them this isn't just a business -- it's a lifestyle.
As I step out of my car, Joe Brown ambles toward me wearing a red Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts. With his disheveled shoulder-length brown hair and strong jaw line, Brown, 56, looks a lot like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. He ends most of his sentences with "Do you follow me?" and stares with wild gray eyes until you nod in agreement. His 46-year-old wife, Kim, who bears a strong resemblance to Grace Slick, sits near the shop's open sign, branding her latest creation. Wearing large sunglasses, she gives a smile, hardly looking up.
Joe and Kim -- Tampa natives -- bought the half-acre property off Fletcher Avenue and Morris Bridge Road in 1985. For the next two decades, the Browns operated A-24 Hour Bait and Tackle, living on the premises and bagging worms for K-Mart and Wal-Mart to make a few extra bucks. But in 2001, they decided to abandon fish food to pursue the fickle business of art, although they will tell you Hong Kong Willie's was always "part of the journey."
"We were artists," says Joe. "We were born that way. We had no choice. You follow me?"
The underlying theme of Hong Kong Willie's is creating art out of objects destined for the landfill, and while browsing the items, I get the feeling the Browns are trying to make a point rather than a sale.
"Thirty percent of the gifts given will be in the dumpster by next Christmas," Joe says. "Most Christmas gifts will be given because they think they have to. Very few will have a social impact."
Every item at Hong Kong Willie's is either art made out of an object destined for the landfill or products that other companies were throwing away and the Browns retrieved before they made it to the dumpster. But don't call this recycled art. The Browns prefer "preservation."
Recycling implies the material will be used for the same purpose. "If you get stuck in that word, then you get stuck in that form," Joe explains. Instead, the Browns create a whole new use for an item that would have been otherwise thrown away.
Kim looks up from her painting after Joe finishes his long ramble. "We've always been able to take nothing and make something out of it," she says.
Although most people assume Joe is "Hong Kong Willie," he says the name refers to the origin of junk: Hong Kong produces much of the useless merchandise that Americans buy and quickly throw away, he says. So it's up to the Willies of the world -- i.e. the Browns and other conservationists -- to find new uses for the trash.
"All of us who believe what we believe is Hong Kong Willie," Joe says.
The gift shop is a space not much bigger than a tool shed, cluttered with handmade candles, pottery, ceramic figures and deer skulls painted tie-dye style. Joe, who's not content to allow me to wander by myself, darts from item to item, sharing each one's origins. One of the first objects he shows me is an old scuba tank cut in half, stenciled with yellow and purple spray paint with a weighted rope attached on the inside. What would have been a heavy addition to a landfill or junkyard, the Browns now sell as a nautical-themed bell. Another popular item: a used Starbucks Frappuccino bottle filled with sand and shells, and the words "Florida Beachfront Property" written in paint on it.
"Is it really pragmatic to say this had one life -- to have Frappuccino in it?" he says, holding up the $3 gift. "That's not true. You follow me?"
Joe picks up a droopy glass vase -- the result of an Arizona Ice Tea bottle stuck in a kiln for too long. He says it's a collector's item: Only 300 were made and none look alike.
"People really want something that is one of a kind and something that means something," he says, holding up the vase and pointing to a stack of Beanie Babies. "Which one is the real collectible? The one that cannot be copied or the one that is mass-produced just on a small scale? You follow me?"
Most of the materials the Browns work with come from Key West. Every few months they hop in the pickup, drive the 425 miles to the Keys and start looking for the junk no one else wants: used dive tanks, the lobster trap buoys, burlap bags and even old wooden planks from ships or homes destroyed by storms.
In fact, the latter is one of their biggest sellers. They bring back an imperfect piece of lumber, slap some urethane on it and Kim paints everything from colorful fish and birds to old Key West landmarks on it. Every piece is branded, marked with a lobster cage tag and affixed with brass rings or forks with which to hang them. In the building opposite the gift shop, among stuffed animals and fish (Joe was once a taxidermist), 30 of these painted planks hang from the walls.
Customers are few at Hong Kong Willie's, but the Browns say they're doing well. They never try to push their art on anyone, figuring that if someone stops and buys something, it was meant to be. ("A piece of art is a love affair," Kim says.) They count Gaspar's Patio Bar and Grille in Temple Terrace as one of their best customers. Their other business comes from Tampa residents looking to add a tiki feel to their backyards. Among Joe's most popular creations are old car doors outfitted with waterproof speakers. A few Key West bars bought the unique sound systems to hang from their ceilings.
But the Browns are not just content to sell their art to passersby -- they want to live the ideals that inspire their art. The couple is working on getting their business off the electrical grid and powered completely by solar energy. Kim wants to start a coffee and ice cream shop with free wireless Internet to bring in likeminded people. Joe wants to be in the Guinness Book of World Records for hanging the greatest number of buoys to a structure (it's not a category yet). And they're always trying to find new uses for the trash they see lining area roads.
"We're not just sitting out here being weird," Joe says suddenly. "We're actually taking objects and making these thousands of people say, 'What's that?' We're doing it because it's the right thing to do."
His eyes get wide.
"You follow me?""
As you can see, just about every blog post and news article written about Hong Kong Willie has been added over and over with little change. To show you this information I am using a Hong Kong Willie famed technique which is just copy/paste. I am hoping in the future that more will be said from Hong Kong Willie that comes from the heart and not copy/paste. How did Hong Kong Willie originate? What is the truth about how Hong Kong Willie now? Are they a real Tampa Touist Attraction? What is the future of Hong Kong Willie? There are so many questions left unanswered. This is exactly why in the past I wrote a little poem for Hong Kong Willie which follows:
So why not spam when everybody you know seems to
All over so much spam in the form of just keywords
Maybe it is because I do not see the true need to
Google this, Google that, does it make sense like real words
I see all of the spam as in Hong Kong, even Willie
But to me that is nothing but Hong Kong Phooey
My resentment is not about any man named Willie
It's about Humankind and their nature to be loony
Allow me to remind you of something I do miss
Tell a story that somebody can believe or have doubt
Add content with keywords giving the story some bliss
Quit all that spamming, it's just the easy way out
The foundation of the Internet evolves so I believe it to be
So come on already and give me some relief
Spam this, spam that, how can you not already see
Let me witness more content in order to form some belief
So now it is time for me to just completely shatter
Every blogger who believes this is an easy way out
Whatever you happen to believe about this matter
I will make sense of my poetry and spam the f#*k out
Google Hong Kong, Google Willie Chan
Google Hong Kong Phooey, even Hong Kong Louie
Google Kong Chan, Google Google if you can
Google Hong Willie, Google Hong Kong Willie
Google Willy Hung cause you like the way he sings
Google Hong Kong Beccary, Google for pizza
Google whatever delights you, so many things
Is this of relevance Google, or is this beating ya
Go ahead; keep spamming, use colors like magenta
Ride someones phrase or keyword just to gain notice
Seems to me there's no relevance to your agenda
Continue to spam, we all know it's completely bogus
Well after a year I wish their was more that I could have shown Hong Kong Willie. I allowed the Brown family to use my computer and with Gandolfo's help we teached them how to turn a Computer on all the way until recently. All of a sudden the Brown family didn't want us to do anything for them but remove our blogs, pictures, and anything left from a year worth of work. When I said "NO" we ended up going our own ways. After some 5 years of being close friends, the Brown family and I are no longer. Too bad.

Relavance is the issue on the Internet. This way you are able to search on a search engine and gain legitamite results. Please see this post for what I mean. What is with Hong Kong Willie? Hong Kong Willie can not change the world by being a Keyword Spammer. What this preservation art group and Tampa tourist attraction needs is to get thier real story out. The only relevant information that I can find is a Fox 13 Tampa short segment located below:

I recieved a recent comment about Hong Kong Willie as follows:"Anonymous said...Hong Kong Willie is very well known, much fact and print verifies this. The very fact you expend your energy towards this issue is due to their popularity and your jealousy of their talents and travels."My reply is as simple as this paragraph:As a Hong Kong Willie member, I have no jealousy of their talents and travels. The only talented artist is Kim Brown and I do my best to promote her artwork. Most of what you read on the Internet is composed by me due to the Browns' lack of computer skills. Their travels have become very limited so I must help the cause even more. The message of reduce, reuse, and recycling is all that Hong Kong Willie is about. Joe Browns’ blogs are irritating and extremely repetitive k

Being an artist is not a job but a passion. Artists throughout the ages have looked, thought, and felt differently than others. Anyone can create something and call it art but it takes a certain type of person to be a true artist. Joe Brown of Hong Kong Willie does not fit the mold of an artist. Although Kim Brown, the artist of Hong Kong Willie Preservation Art has already proven herself to be an artist. Maybe not popular yet but only time will tell. Just what does it take to be an artist? Maybe this video will help out or not:
Hong Kong Willie says Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

There is much more to Hong Kong Willie than recycling. Humans must always think REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. These are the three R's we all must abide by. See what you can do to reduce your footprint on Earth. Then find ways to reuse items destined for the landfill. Finally recycle everything you possibly can. By accomplishing these three R's, Humans can leave much less of a footprint on Earth. Following is a short video for our viewers in order to remember Reduce, Reuse , and Recycling:

Sustainable Life on Earth

Hong Kong Willie has the ultimate goal or dream of people living more than just a sustainable life on Earth . Hong Kong Willies from around the World want to achieve this goal ASAP considering the World's Industry and pollution records. Living Green is what each and every person can do to help achieve this goal but Industry is reluctant to do so. Industry claims it's too expensive among their many excuses. So how expensive will it get to for all people and Industry to live a sustainable life in the future? The longer it is put off, the more expensive it will be. Now Hong Kong Willie will never have all the answers but leaving less of a footprint on Earth is a start. Once the people of this World figure out how to live a sustainable life on Earth, that will only be yet another step. The ulti

Hong Kong Willie creators Joe Brown and Kim Brown always look to the past for inspiration and strength. Whenever circumstances arise that are hard to deal with or just plain frustration about getting the message out of recycling and reuse of objects destined for the landfill. Joe and Kim always remember the times of old when recycling became a commercial campaign in order to try and reach the masses. Hong Kong Willie will always remember the old commercials of Iron Eyes Cody and the tear he shed for his land. Keep your heads up Hong Kong Willies and your hearts true to the message as Iron Eyes Cody did.

Hong Kong Willie vs. Kleenex
2008-02-01 16:18:00
Living green and using recycled products is an ever increasing human revelation. Days past have Hong Kong Willie leaving a new message of recycling and reuse but now living green (or being green) is a current and popular idea. It's time to start spreading the message of "how to live a greener life" on Earth before it's too late. There are many ideas and companies that are listening to the movement and making changes but that's not enough. There are certian companies which are ignoring the message of recycling and reuse. Take for instance, Kleenex brand tissues. The box which contains these tissues is made from recycled materials. Is that going far enough? What about what is inside the box: The tissues themselves. How are they produced? Are they partially recycled, entirely recycled, or dir

Hong Kong Willie Politics
2008-01-26 14:25:00
There is no need to stick to purity with Hong Kong Willie art. Hong Kong Willie must think outside the box with the green art that is made. We need new ideas from fresh minds to ensure Hong Kong Willie's message of living green. Green Art is far from just what Hong Kong Willie makes. Reuse of objects headed for any landfill can create whatever the imagination dreams. Quit acting like a political candidate continually flip-flopping on the Hong Kong Willie message Joe Brown. It would also be nice if you quit misleading the public as you still continue to do to this day. Being a Hong Kong Willie is a small part of living green. There are much bigger solutions that already are in progress today. The video above shows another simple way to reuse materials for entertaining the public. There are
Hong Kong Willie vs. City of Tampa
2008-01-26 14:16:00
Most of our area is on well water and septic tanks. The City of Tampa requires that all your waste water must run into your septic system. Now that is common sense for any solid waste that needs to be broken down through your septic tank and leach bed, then into your yard. Hong Kong Willie 's location in Tampa does use common sense rules regarding solid waste but by their own admission the waste water from every other line such as sinks, dishwasher, and washing machine has a separate run-off to water their yard and worm bed. As long as hazardous chemicals aren't used in this separate run-off (which is not) then what is the problem? Following is a quote which was written in Hong Kong Willie's long blogs:"THE HONG KONG WILLIE WAY OF LIFE. RE-USE IN SIMPLE FORM. USING RESOURCES TO THEIR FULL B
Hong Kong Willie think about it
2008-01-26 14:08:00
Looking at the history of Art and Artists there are several common mistakes that Hong Kong Willie Art Group is making. First of all there is the “weird factor” of artists which I don’t mean in a bad way. Artists such as Kim Brown of Hong Kong Willie seem to see what they are creating before starting a piece of art. That is a very interesting talent that most true artists have. The artists mind is always influenced by their childhood, surroundings, thoughts (both past and present), and current mindset. Every true Artist is different which gives the artwork its own unique qualities. Because it is so hard to get into an Artist’s mind they tend to be called weird, strange, or even crazy at times but this is what the “weird factor” of an artist is all about. I believe that Hong Kong

Artist Kim Brown of Hong Kong Willie
2008-01-26 13:54:00
Hong Kong Willie has been increasing known as an Art Group. Hong Kong Willie would never have existed without Kim Brown . Kim is the backbone of Hong Kong Willie Art Group. The Brown family has always lived by leaving less of a footprint on the World which is at least the main message that Hong Kong Willie was founded upon. Joe Brown aka Hong Kong Willie has talked quite extensively about everyone keeping less out of junk piles or landfills throughout the World. Unfortunately, one family can't change the World but it's certainly a great start by being a pure example to others. Recycling and preservation is what Hong Kong Willie is all about including the art. We can't change the World alone but I do try to get out the message. Living green is a lifestyle and not just a fad anymore. Make no

Joe Brown's landfill alias Hong Kong Willie "Hong Kong Willie"
2008-03-17 17:52:00
Hong Kong Willie would love you to believe that preservation art is what this outfit is all about. That is FALSE. Hong Kong Willie collects items (of their choice) that are destined for a landfill and call themselves preservation artists. To preserve an item is to restore it to it's original use but a freegan or collector of recycled materials is what this Art Group is about. Almost all items that Hong Kong Willie collects can be recycled such as scrap metal, wood, and even their buoys. Hong Kong Willie does reuse the wood they collect for Kim Brown 's art. That is all they collect for any important use. The thought of them living green is almost too funny. Why collect all this junk? Why not recycle over 90% of your collection and clean up your location here in Tampa. There is no need for
Keyword Spamming and Hong Kong Willlie
2008-03-22 17:49:00
As I stated in my very first post about Hong Kong Willie found here, Keyword Spamming is not a relevant or pure way to get the word out. Check the above article out because I used a simple poem to demonstrate Keyword Spamming. Now that Joe Brown of Hong Kong Willie has been keyword spamming for several years it is coming back to bite this Art Group in the ass. I only need one of the funniest keyword spamming that I found on the Internet about Hong Kong Willie to demonstrate how anyone can use Keyword Spamming to sell items and even promote their own agenda not related to Hong Kong Willie at all. I will quote the following article and then give you the link to see for yourself. "HONG KONG WILLIE THE ARTIST Locating the most select can be quite tedious. Coming across the best domains can
Hong Kong Willie on Flick'r Keyword Spamming

Hong Kong Willie 's keyword spamming on all of their attempts at blogging has already been addressed. Now let's take a look at how Hong Kong Willie uses keyword spamming on Flick'r photo titles. Below are just a few of the latest picture titles from their first trip to Key West in 2008. So I quote:"HONG KONG WILLIE IN BOOT KEYEXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT.
